Zinfandel has always been a very mellow and sweet doe kid and stole my daughter, Shantelle’s heart.  I am happy that Shantelle selected such a lovely doe kid to be her 4H project.  Zinfandel is very long and level with wonderful feet and legs and is just beautiful to look at.  I feel she inherited some nice dairy character from her sire.  Zinfandel’s dam has a beautiful udder and hopefully passes that trait on to her daughter. Unfortunately, Zinfandel inherited her dam’s shoulders which could be sharper and tighter.  It was a difficult decision to sell Zinfandel but she went to a great home and Shantelle is keeping her daughter, Shiraz.  Shiraz doesn't have wonderful conformation like Zinfandel but we are hoping for an udder similar to her MCH grand-dam, Dakota. 

If she lives up to her pedigree, Encore should produce some pretty impressive kids. So far, I am impressed with Encore but I need to find the perfect sire for her kids. Encore is nicely put together and has a beautiful udder that is “high and wide”. Her teats are plenty long for easy milking and are perfectly placed. If I could change two things Encore, I would bless her with a pretty face (this picture makes her look especially unattractive) and I would give her a more correct rear leg set. I am excited add Encore’s bloodlines to my herd and thank Tembi Buckinghamfor allowing me to “talk her into” selling this lovely doe.  I currently own Acapella, a three-year-old daughter out of Encore and sired by Crescendo.

Chaebree was a beautiful kid and even won her first AGS championship at 2½ months-old. We were even more impressed when she freshened with nicely shaped, capacious udder that is easy to milk. This girl knows how to produce milk! This doe is one of the most persistant milk producers in our herd and is difficult to dry up. Chaebree is a really nice all-around doe and has stood at the front of the line-up many times when shown. She has won grand champion at an ADGA sanctioned show and reserve grand champion senior doe at an AGS sanctioned show. If I could improve on Chaebree's conformation, I would give her a greater area of udder attachement, tighter shoulders, and a longer, leaner neck. Chaebree has been producing some awesome daughters when bred to Wave Runner. For the past two years, she has had a winning daughter in the champion junior doe class at the Oregon State Fair. She also has a yearling milking daughter in Florida who has already won several Best of Breed and Best Udder awards. Chaebree is Shantelle's 4H showmanship goat and the two of them make quite a team.
